Is heart would start beating again so on 1-25-11 around 11pm they announced my father dead, possibly from a massive heart attack, he was 43, my mom 39, my brother 13, and me 16. My mom and my grandma (my dad's mom) have been continuously crying for the last 10 hours and I feel completely hopeless. This year has seemed to turn for the worst, this is the year for SAT's, ACT's, and college applications and is one of the most important years in my life for education and this has added lots of stress. I seriously have no idea what to do anymore.

WOw man. Sorry to hear of your loss of your Father. While it is pretty traumatic what you went thru, you have to remember that you were there to help your Father and were there when he passed. That means a lot and I'm sure your Father would be proud of you. I would be.
In this trip we call life, some of us have to grow pretty quick and take on a lot of responsibility. It seems that you have fallen into that role. All I can say to you is be strong for your family, yet still grieve for your father. This is very important to do! I lost my Father at a little bit later in life as you, but my duty to my country prevented me from truly grieving properly. You'll find yourself with some mundane problem and you'll think to yourself to ask your Dad. That's ok man. It's natural.
Be strong! Take one day at a time. Let yourself grieve for your loss. You can do it. Make your father proud young man.
